Background:
The Republican National Committee (RNC) released a statement Monday about Democratic Presidential Candidate Sen. Barack Obama's (D-IL) ties to a campaign advisor who received what they categorize as “special loans” from Countrywide Financial Corp. Chief Executive Officer Angelo Mozilo.More background:
The claims are related to Jim Johnson, who is one of Obama's top advisors and the former Chief Executive Officer of Fannie Mae. The RNC quotes a Wall Street Journal article in its statement about the connection. The Journal article suggests that Johnson was one of a few of Mozilo's friends who received special loans due to their connections. The rates for at least two of the loans were described as “below market values” and Johnson is said to have taken out loans totaling $7 million.
“Barack Obama routinely rails against lobbyists and corporate insiders, yet his campaign is stocked with both,” the RNC's Press Secretary Alex Conant said. “Now it turns out that the man leading his vice presidential selection team is receiving highly questionable loans. With millions of Americans struggling to pay their mortgages, it raises serious questions about Obama's judgment when we learn members of his campaign leadership are receiving favors that the average American would never get.”
About James Johnson: He's part of the permanent government of this country, a long-time Democratic fixer (Mondale and Kerry campaigns), former CEO of Fannie Mae, and as such a big buyer of Countrywide loans. He's a guy who sits on a bunch of corporate boards, etc.The sanctimonious Obama, before he was called on his bullshit:
Outrage: "That reeks most high," said Bonnie Russell, a public relations specialist and vocal critic of Mr. Mozilo, according to the Sun. "Where's the 'change to believe in' if they're playing the same old game using the same old players?"
Man...He sure sounded angry about Countrywide...In a stuttering and babbling kinda way. And note the boos from the Obamamaniacs.
Well...here's what the Obamamaniacs were saying before Obama's outrage and hypocrisy blew up in his double-speaking face (taken from Obama's community forum on his own website):
You know who Countrywide is...the biggest predatory mortgage rapists of them all.So you can bet your bottom dollar if Penn is tied to them...at the very least,the Clintons knew about it.And here's Obama's take now. He doesn't sound nearly so sanctimonious or outraged. He just sounds like a retard:
Hillary Clinton's Chief Strategist is connected to Countrywide Financial, raper of the Black community in the mortgage loan crisis, and Blackwater, raper of the public tax dollars that have this country in so much debt because of their murderous deeds....Why aren't we yelling this from the roof tops!! Why is Obama sitting on this?
And in case you weren't paying attention...The Cliff notes:
Hey...Obamamaniacs, why aren't you yelling from the roof tops!!?? Why is Obama just sitting on this? Perhaps it's because your boy now has to eat his own bullshit. Just like you've been eating it.
This is not the Countrywide Obama once knew.
